A cherished landmark in Leicester since 1733. More than just a pub, we're a community gathering spot where students, locals, families, and sports lovers come together to share good times.
Nestled in the heart of the city, The Bowling Green is Leicester's second-oldest pub. With nearly 300 years of history, we've evolved from a simple alehouse into a modern-day destination with an old soul. Whether you're catching a game, celebrating with friends, or enjoying a peaceful pint, you're part of our long-standing tradition.
To create a safe, affordable, and friendly environment where everyone feels welcome – whether you're a student discovering the city or a local who's been visiting us for years.
